Hi Pierre, please send replies to rkward-devel, instead of rkward-announce. The latter is meant to be a very low volume list, for announcements, only. I'm quoting your full mail below, so no need to re-send, though.

The relevant ChangeLog entry is "GUI frontend and R backend now run in
separate processes". This is the binary for the backend process.
You may be right in that it does not really belong in /usr/bin/ , since it is
not meant to be invoked directly by users. However, I'm also not sure, where
it should go, instead. /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/ ?
(And of course the same point could always have been made for rkward.bin,
too).

It is installed in ${CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR}. This file is not meant to be edited
by users.

The installPath is relative to the user's home directory. See
